Brown lawn means jail time - St. Petersburg Times

Brown lawn means jail time - St. Petersburg Times: "His crime? He had disobeyed a court order that he sod the lawn at his Beacon Woods home.

His bail? Zero.

Prudente, 66, must stay in the Pasco County jail in Land O'Lakes until the required sod work is completed, under a September court order signed by Circuit Judge W. Lowell Bray.

'He's in prison for God knows how long because we can't afford to sod the lawn,' said his sobbing daughter, Jennifer Lehr."

Thanks to Beth Young for this sad tale. The Beacon Woods Civic Association is serious about that green lawn thing. And so is the judge.
